3 Introduction This guide is intended to help BC Agents navigate the LDB product registration and activation process. Below is an outline of the process from applying for an Agent Licence to Product Activation. The estimated time from product registration to product activation (when you can begin selling your product) will generally be 2 to 4 weeks. Ensuring that your registration is complete and accurate will expedite this process. Licence Application Agent's Package Product Registration Product Approval Product Activation Obtain an Approved Liquor Control and Licensing (LCLB) Import Agent Licence Contact Liquor Control and Licensing website: or call Complete LDB New Agent Package (can be completed prior to receiving licence from LCLB) Contact Vendor Relations to receive the New Agent package. Return completed and signed copies to LDB with confirmation of your LCLB agent license to proceed. Within a week after licence confirmation and complete Agent package is received by the LDB, you will receive access to the Vendor Website. You will receive your user ID & password in separate s. Register your products on the Vendor Website In order to make the process as smooth as possible, please review pages 3 5 of this guide for things you can do before beginning the online product registration. The approval process can be expedited if your registration is completed accurately and in full. Your registration will be reviewed by the LDB Vendor Relations team. Product Approval You may be asked to provide revised or additional information. If so, you will need to amend and resubmit your registration within 10 business days. (If you do not respond after 10 business days, your registration will be considered abandoned and will be cancelled). Once the registration is approved, you will receive an approval letter which will provide the SKU number assigned to your product. Registration approval may take up to 2 weeks after submission. Product Pricing and Activation Customers can purchase your product once it has a wholesale and retail price assigned and it is activated. All products registered for sale in BC must have a retail price assigned, as this is the price that hospitality customers pay for the product. The pricing and activation process may take up to 2 weeks after you receive the approval letter. 2 P age

4 Read This First Agent & Supplier Authorization Inside the agent package are two types of supplier authorization letters. One letter must be completed for each supplier you represent which will confirm payment terms and title to the product. A supplier authorization letter is required each time a new supplier is added to an agent s portfolio. Your product will not be approved for registration without a signed authorization letter. LDB commits to protecting BC agents and their suppliers by requesting supporting documentation in instances where brand ownership, representation, or authorization is not clearly defined. LDB reserves the right to decline registrations for products when supplier authorization is not clearly documented. Submit only one authorization letter per supplier. 1. Supplier Authorization Domestic Agent Title ownership = Supplier The LDB pays the agent OR supplier (depending on the agreement) The import supplier s Canadian GST number is requested 2. Supplier Authorization Distributor Title ownership = Agent The LDB pays the agent The agent s GST number is required If you are a BC Agent representing Canadian out of province suppliers please refer to Domestic Out of Province Suppliers for more information Barcodes If your packaged product will be distributed by the LDB or sold to BC Liquor Stores, it requires a unique UPC (Universal Product Code barcode on bottles) and SCC (Shipping Container Code barcode on cases). UPC and SCC codes are non-transferrable. Kegs do not require UPC and SCC codes as these are not distributed by the LDB Product Type UPC SCC Packaged product Required Required Kegs Not required Not required If the product you are registering does not require a UPC or SCC, press the space bar twice in the UPC and SCC fields. If you do not have barcodes and wish to purchase them from the LDB, you may inquire at ldbprdata@bcldb.com. The current price as of this date s publication is 15 sets for $50. 3 P age

5 Federal Label Standards The agent/supplier is responsible for ensuring labels meet Canada Food Inspection Agency rules and regulations and that products are in compliance with the Food and Drugs Act. You may also find information in the Consumer Packaging and Labelling Act and Regulations guideline. Social Responsibility Product approval is subject to compliance with the LDB s policy on Social Responsibility Criteria for Registration of Liquor Products. This policy can be found on the LDB Vendor Website. Valid container type It is very important that the correct container type is selected as it affects deposits and recycling fees. More information about container types can be found on page If you are unsure, please contact a Vendor Relations Analyst. As per the Recycling Regulation of BC s Environmental Management Act, all beverage alcohol must be sold in a container that can be refilled or recycled. Containers must be covered by a stewardship plan that has been approved by the BC Ministry of Environment. Please refer to page 21 for details. Core Sizes for Spirits LDB follows the Core Size Agreement, developed in conjunction with the Canadian Association of Liquor Jurisdictions (CALJ) for the registration of distilled spirits. Only standard core sizes may be registered for domestic and imported spirits and non-spirits which bear spirit names (e.g. wine based schnapps and wine based cream liqueurs). Standard core sizes for distilled spirits less than three litres are: 50 ml 200 ml 375 ml 750 ml 1.14 litres 1.75 litres Standard core sizes for Duty Free distilled spirits products are: 1 litre 1.5 litres There are limited exception cases where small quantities of a non-standard bottle size may be approved for a registration. If an application for a non-core size spirit is cancelled, Agents/Suppliers may request an exception by to the LDB Wholesale Operations Vendor Relations Analyst team at (ldbvendorhelp@bcldb.com). 4 P age

6 The exception request must clearly indicate how the product meets the criteria listed below. 1. The product is distinctly unique from other distilled spirits available in B.C.; 2. The product is from a country where standard sizes do not apply and a market test is required before compliant packaging will be developed; 3. The product fulfills a clearly identifiable local market demand that cannot be served by alternative products; 4. Other standard or non-standard sizes of the same product are not already registered. Please note, exceptions to standard core sizes are generally not granted for products in mainstream categories such as vodka, gin, rum and tequila. Core Sizes for Wine Per CFIA, wine bottled after January 1, 1979 may only be sold in Canada in a container size that has a net quantity of product of 50, 100, 200, 250, 375, 500, or 750 millilitres or 1, 1.5, 2, 3 or 4 litres. Wholesale Price The Wholesale Pricing Guide for Vendors is available on the Vendor Website on the Pricing Information page Wholesale Pricing Information Refer to the Wholesale Pricing Calculator on page 29 for information on how to access and use the Wholesale Pricing Calculator. If you require assistance, you can contact Wholesale Pricing at or wholesalepricing@bcldb.com. Product Classification Beer based products may fall under the beer or refreshment beverage classification category. Please be aware that refreshment beverages have different markup rates and distribution rules than beer. The LDB may request product samples (at the agent s expense) for the purpose of classification and reserves the right to make the final determination of a product s classification. 5 P age
